Taylee. Summary: Just as we are striving to find
our naked voice, we should be just as determined to uncover our personality,
including (but not limited to) our strengths, weaknesses, tendencies and limits.
As we are choosing our repertoire to sing, we should remember that it is our choice!
As long as it means something to us, that meaning will be able to flow through
us and out to the listeners. A personal connection will always trump intellectual
speculation. As we prepare for auditions or performances, again, remember to be
true to yourself. Envisioning yourself giving your best performance is a
great way to remind yourself about what you are capable of. This practice also
helps to shake away nerves and potential tension, because we will have already
gone through the motions (at least mentally). What we focus on is what will
happen (myelination at work). I sound
like a broken record, but we must know ourselves and what our needs are in
learning music. Time management, memory strategies and limitations, physical
and mental health, these all play a factor in being a good vocalist.
Key Terms: fach box. positive visualization. audiation. mark/marking. warm-ups.
Key Concepts: The most important principle in pursuing any career should be the same as the principle involved in learning to sing: Be true to yourself.
Making Connections: I like specific instructions. If there is something concrete for me to follow, there is a lesser likely-hood of failure. But a lot of what this chapter said made sense. I especially liked the part about choosing my own repertoire. Why shouldn't I sing what makes me feel good? As I continue to improve my technique, my repertoire will naturally follow my abilities if I just adhere to what is in my sweetspot
